[boost] Separation question about serialization

I haven't looked at the serialization library that was just under 
review, so my questions are based on looking at reviews on this list.

The pre-standard stream classes did everything within themselves.  The 
current classes don't do too much at all.  The object-to-text 
conversion is handled by locales.  The character source/sink issues are 
handled by stream-buffers.  The current stream classes just connect the 
other items together in an easy package.  Do the serialization class 
use the same philosophy?  I think it is very nice and the serialization 
classes should switch to it if it is not used.  However, some of the 
reviews gave very detailed reorganization suggestions, so take those 
into account too.
